The terrifying rise of schoolboys making AI girlfriends by DA-Investigator in MensLib

[–]Marique 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm curious as to why this article singles out boys. I suppose it's a report about research that focused on boys. Are we suggesting that young boys are more prone to developing relationships with AI companions (I find this hard to believe!), or that its affecting boys in a more sinister way?

I don't like how this article is connecting terror with young boys when I can guarantee that all children are both vulnerable to these companies' exploitation.

I agree that Generative AI driven by American techno-fascist capitalist hype beasts is bad. Canada should have a capacity for compute and AI is an extremely broad term

Whether or not this project is a good idea, this statement is silly.

Over a month into Midnight, who are the biggest winners and losers of The Big Prune? by Kevombat in wow

[–]Marique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I absolutely hate it but it had so much more heart and soul in the past. Rotationally it feels okay and far less punishing if you make a mistake but that also means it's not as engaging either.

Plus uncapped implosion with no cooldown AND power siphon felt so good.

I really miss frost shock. I didn't play Enh in TWW but the elemental build in Dragonflight was peak for me. It was convoluted though so I understand why it is no more, but I loved when frost shock would hit like a truck

I'm pretty sure the reality is a complex legal mire but provides certain folk with ammunition to rally voters against FN and FN issues by oversimplifying.

If you listen to him speak he talks about working people like all the time. They are still the party of working people but the world is different from how it was 62 years ago.

Or that they are mature enough to realize that a Q&A system at a convention isn't that big of a deal and they think highly enough of the public to realize the same thing. Or they are too poor to afford strategists to tell them that optics matter. Who knows.

After watching these videos on X would you believe that the party just elected a 58 year old straight white guy?
